The small heat shock protein (sHSP) genes in the silkworm, Bombyx mori, and comparative analysis with other insect sHSP genes [PDF]
Background Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are products of heat shock response and of other stress responses, and ubiquitous in all three domains of life, archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

The Effect of Silk on the Stabilization of Labile Enzyme Lipoxygenase
Entrapping lipoxygenase within silk significantly extended its stability from under 24 h to 10 days. Variations in silk molecular weight and freeze‐drying conditions influenced silk properties and enzyme interactions. This stabilization is leveraged to develop a linoleic acid electrochemical biosensor, integrating lipoxygenase with horseradish ...

MicroRNAs of Bombyx mori identified by Solexa sequencing [PDF]
Background MicroRNA (miRNA) and other small regulatory RNAs contribute to the modulation of a large number of cellular processes. We sequenced three small RNA libraries prepared from the whole body, and the anterior-middle and posterior silk glands of ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

ABSTRACT Approximately 50% of patients that undergo surgical reconstruction to repair the congenital heart defect tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) experience adverse effects by the age of 50. These effects can be linked to the poor healing response elicited by the synthetic materials in the commonly used cardiovascular patches.

A novel rhabdovirus persistently infects lepidopteran cell lines
A novel rhabdovirus was identified in BmN-4 (BmN) cells derived from Bombyx mori and Sf9 cells derived from Spodoptera frugiperda. Genome sequence homology revealed that this novel virus is distinct from the previously reported Spodoptera frugiperda ...
